Beautiful and enticing pictures of Canada that make you want to visit each - Builds pride and reminds a Canadian of the beauty of our country and that there is so much to see right here in Canada. Would make an excellent gift, (that's why i bought it) and very reasonabley priced. great value -

This is a beautiful book filled with pictures and brief descriptions about each destination. While the information about each location is brief, it is enough to encourage the reader to find out more. And the pictures are stunning! A great gift.

Good Starting PointJan. 15 2012

Format: Paperback

I enjoyed reading through this book, especially for the beautiful pictures. As I'm hoping to visit Canada for vacation this year, it was a good starting point. I took notes as I read for places to look up and Google. It's not a definitive travel guide, but neither is it advertised as one.

The last 25 places did seem a little odd. I think maybe they ran out of "wow" places and just went with some "hmm" touristy spots.

My girlfriend is Candadian and having made only one trip to Canada, this book makes planning future visits a lot easier. I was in the Army for 22 years, so travel is not foreign (pun intended) to me. One thing about military travel is the orders are not stamped "RSVP" so travel is not always voluntary. This book subtly encourages you to take a trip to Canada and, as written, challenges you to prioritize those 100 destinations. The pictures are beautiful and the commentary are not overdone. "Unforgettable Canada: 100 Destinations sits on our coffee table as both a planning guide and a nice travel book.

Format: Paperback

With the exception of the Icefields Parkway area, most of the destinations in this book are easily forgettable. What is so memorable about treeless flatlands like the Grasslands NP, SK, Great Sands Hills, Sk, or places that have trees but are still easy to forget like...Agawa Canyon, ON, Land of Living Skies, Sk...it goes on and on with boring destinations no intrepid traveller would waste money on....seriously dont buy this book
